Man Utd have hit a new low as they record their worst ever start to a Premier League season in 38 years.

United drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Old Trafford to continue their poor form in the Premier League.

The Red Devils have won just three games this season and sit in 13th position – their 12 points from 10 games is their worst start to a league campaign since 1986-87 where they accrued just eight points, as per Opta.

Their poor form led to the sacking of Erik ten Hag and incoming replacement Ruben Amorim has a lot of work to do.

The opening 10 games of the 1986-87 season in which United earned only eight points was overseen by Ron Atkinson who was then replaced by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Amorim’s task is clear and he has serious work to do to undo a decade of disappointment at Old Trafford.

He has had ringing endorsements from his compatriot Bruno Fernandes but he will have to start winning games quickly to turn the season and the faith of the United fans around.

His work will begin on 11 November.
